PTP clock TimeProvider® 4100

digital

The TimeProvider® 4100 is a gateway clock, a new class of synchronization product that accepts multiple inputs from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Synchronous Ethernet (SynE), and 1588 PTP and E1/T1 digital transmission links, and distributes timing flows to multiple end points such as base stations. A gateway clock benefits from multiple layers of protection leveraging other assets in the core of the network. TimeProvider 4100 is a best-in-class 1588 grandmaster complemented by extensive port fan-out for PTP, Network Time protocol (NTP), SyncE, and legacy building integrated timing supplies (BITS). With multiple ports for current, legacy, and future networks that can be connected to multiple base stations for 4G and 5G deployments, the device offers customers a cost-effective solution that can be easily adapted for a wide variety of use cases. Flexible Architecture A key aspect of TimeProvider 4100 is its rich base platform with support for PTP, NTP, and legacy frequency timing applications. The clock features 4 BITS ports (E1/T1), 2 x 1PPS /ToD ports, 2 x 1PPS/10 MHz ports, 1 GNSS port, and 1 craft port. Complementing its standard advanced feature set, TimeProvider 4100 offers an internal expansion module to add 16 E1/T1 synchronization ports to the device. Flexibility is of the utmost importance for enabling operators to select the appropriate package, options, and interfaces for their respective use cases and deployment models.
